They called me ordinary
like I was some dusty-ass stone
kicked around in the gutter
no shine, no throne
Like I wasn’t carved under pressure
like I didn’t survive every crack
like I didn’t stitch my own soul together
when the world tried to rip it black
See, I’m a sapphire
not your glass-ass glitter fake
I’m pressure-born beauty
with a goddamn earthquake in my wake
I’ve been buried in silence
choked down every scream
told “be smaller, be softer”
like I’m not allowed to fucking dream
But listen—
I am not your quiet little gemstone
I am not your “just okay” blue
I am oceans with teeth
I am storms breaking through
They said, “You’re too much”
yeah? then why the hell you staring?
Why your eyes catch fire
when my truth starts flaring?
You want ordinary?
Go find it in a mirror that lies
in a life that plays safe
in a soul that complies
But me?
I’m sharp edges and deep hues
I’m the kind of rare they try to refuse
’cause I don’t sit pretty in cages or rules
I bleed brilliance
I spit defiance
I turned my pain into radiant violence
So nah—
don’t call me ordinary
don’t shrink me to size
I’m a sapphire, bitch
cut from survival
polished by lies
And I shine—
not soft, not small, not sorry, not tame
I shine like a warning
like a wildfire with a name 🔥
